still losing weight

No poops since we got home(she had a lot of poops in the hospital but no pees). But a lot of pee diapers. The nurses that come visit you after baby. Are concered. And says I need to supplement more! I have her on the breast as much as she wants which tends to be every 1-1.5 hrs during the day. I have tried pumping but only get 5ml in a 20min session. (Both breast.) Pretty much the same as hand expressing.. but I can tell I get much much much more with her in the breast. But apparently its not enough she is down 295grams from birth(3300grams).(yesterday she weighed 3015grams and today the scale said 3005grams) I'm at a loss. Mind you I do supplement forumla. 40mls 2-3times at nighttime feedings. At least she's not as jandance anymore...grrr frustrating

That's what I said. I said doesnt it cause constipation.... and they look at me like I'm nuts and still wanted me to supplement. And then they make ne feel by under supplenenting (by thieir standerds. I'd rather not use forunla at all.) I'm not doing the best for my child. That she isn't getting enough volume... i feed her until she refuses the breast. But still want me to pump (now 60ml into her on top of breast feeding)

Quoting Precious333: Weight loss is normal, 10%. Formula could be the reason there is no poopy diapers.
